uooney] SONGS OF THE CHEYENNE 1035 



Translation 



My children, I am now humming — //< eye ! 



My children, I am now humming — He eye 1 '. 



Your children, your children, 



They are crying — He'eye'! 



They are crying — He'eye! 



They are hurrying me along. 



They are hurrying me along. 



This song is supposed to be addressed by the father or messiah to 

 his disciples. He tells them that their children in the spirit world are 

 crying to be reunited with their friends here, and thus are hastening 

 their coming. The expression, " I am humming," may possibly refer to 

 his rapid approach.
